Marina Vallarta Golf Club is known for its stunning tropical landscape that is home to an abundance of wildlife. Golfers have the opportunity to play amongst iguanas and alligators while enjoying scenic views of the Bay of Banderas. The course is blessed with a bevy of natural hazards including towering palm trees, lagoons, and waterfalls. Colorful tropical flowers and native vegetation further accent the landscape. In addition to the natural hazards, there are also a few strategically placed bunkers along the greensides. The golf course offers a challenging but fair test that is not overly demanding, which is probably for the best since it is easy to get distracted by the beautiful surroundings. Given its versatility and scenery, Marina Vallarta G.C. has become a popular venue for various golfing events, including the Governor's Cup Pro/Am Tournament.

Got out early, lots of wildlife!

We got out before our tee-time and pretty well had the course to ourselves until #11. Took a bit of time snapping some photos of a few impressive salt water crocodiles!

Had some fun!

Make sure you have a collared shirt.

I walked about 0.8 miles to get to the course from my hotel with my clubs. I was wearing a mok turtle neck collarless shirt that I had been given at a Fed Ex cup promotional event years ago com[;ete with the Fed Ex cup logo on the chest!. Fortunately I got there about 50 minutes early.

When I went to check in I was told I needed to be wearing a collared shirt. So I had had to make anotherround trip 1.6 mile walk back to my hotel to geta a collared shirt. It was not a pleasant experience!!!

Perhaps this golf course needs to learn it is now the 21st century, not the 19th!!!!

Dry conditions

I have golfed here many times over the last 25 years. I have never seen it so dry. I miss the crocodiles. The greens are crusty dry, which makes them slow. But, they are true. I will golf here again. The course is just a victim of Mother Nature! The staff are quite friendly & helpful!
